The small and wide angle neutron scattering instrument, , was installed at the 15 in the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility, , of . is designed for efficient measurement in wide-q range by using of the wide wavelength and the four detector banks which cover small-, middle-, high-, and backward-angle. At the present stage, 1,216 s are mounted on , where the number is about 50% of the installable total s number. On beam commissioning started in January 2012, and user program began in March 2012. The software of data reduction has newly developed and some sample environment devices such as a sample changer, tension tester, and refrigerator have been improved. In this presentation, we present the current status of about the new software, sample environment devices, and the results on some samples to show the instrument performance of .
